New World Datsuns...

Finally put in zx struts and brakes in the front.
i broke a brake line but thats what happens when you learn and do it on your own for the first.
I'm really happy with the result.

It's not slammed but low just what i was heading for.
some pics.

the jack doesnt fit under. that felt... accomplishing...

Thats what ive ben waiting for! Looks great!

so i took off the outer squeegees and i'll be getting them on tomorrow.
I plan to get the radio and what not done.

I'm waiting to get brake lines and I'll be done.

I'm more than hoping the car will somewhat be done by jccs.
im waiting on my rear coilovers to come.

edit: also forgot that i don't have a speedo cable.
should i buy one used or new?

I still have to plug mine into my trans and see if to works anyways
I'll figure that out.

Brake lines at rockauto are less than 3.50 each. I bought 8 of em.

which ones did you buy exactly?
i need the front ones but that are stock.
i switched to 280zx brakes but the stock 510 brake lines will still be fine.

I bought the cheap ones.. lol

thanks, i ordered the lines.

quick question, does anyone know a place or a website to buy aftermarket wheel caps?
my carrols look ugly without a cap.

well they're alright but i prefer one.

art said he'd send me a pair but never did.

Find out what the diameter is for the hole. then you can look around online. There are lots of places that sell center caps.

Take a look at how it would fit in there, too. What manufacture and style of rims are those again?

'

they're carrol shelby mesh rims.
know any recommeneded? ill look for a place after work today

jegs, ebay, etc, summit racing, auto zone, lol need to know the size, and how they go on, clips, tabs, etc... then just start looking around.

I've had no idea.
I don't even know how they go on.
I'll check.
The guy that owns art would know.

so after finishing my suspension and all, my drivers side is half a finger if that lower than the passengers.

Would that do any damage?

If it will i will try to put the coilovers back on place.
the coilovers are actually even so i dont know why the car is doing that. lol

double check for anything obvious that might be missing by chance?

The coilovers may be adjusted the same height, but were they welded exactly the same height?

yes, before hand when the brakes were not bled, the car was the same height.
i don't know what went wrong but nothing changed and somehow the height is dif.

the suspension could have just not "Settled" yet.

Move the car back and forth, bounce the front end down n up a few times too. should settle, recheck it

jounce that bitch.

Jack it back up. And slowly let it down make sure the pring top hat and bearing are all oriented the same way.

excuse the dirtyness. still in progress.
for what it's worth, it's getting there.
this crappy quality honestly takes away from it but here.

Looks great(minus the debris), Nice wheel

I swear if your car is a piece of shit, you definitely don't need to see mine

It's lookin good to me
